"I can grow a new claw in a day..."

At one time, we were able to do nuclear experiments on exotic islands. Naturally, the next step is to examine what effect the experiments have on marine life. When the scientists mysteriously disappear, a second expedition is sent out to look for them. What they find is not quite what they expected. They find a crabby enemy that can absorb the memories of those they eat. This is an absorbing movie. Will they survive, or will the crabs feast on people's legs? The real question is, who is smarter? This is truly a Roger Corman movie. Russell Johnson makes a habit of being stranded on islands (the Professor in "Gilligan's Island), and the monsters are quite cute. I wonder if the crab monsters prefer Alaskan Kings, and that is why Alaska only has governors. They have a strange diet of brains and radio tubes. The consumed people become part of the crab, like what happened with the plant in “Little Shop of Horrors.” If you like atomic bugs, then after this watch “Them!” (1954).
